Minimum

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the data shows this combination can handle the Ultra preset comfortably. The recorded average of 71 FPS clears the 60 FPS playability threshold with room to spare, making Ultra the most demanding preset that remains playable at this resolution.

Moving up to 2560x1440, the situation changes notably. The Ultra preset drops to 46 FPS average, which falls below the playable threshold. The High preset, however, maintains exactly 60 FPS on average, so High becomes the most demanding playable option at this resolution. The database records 60 FPS as the average for High at 1440p, which meets the threshold precisely.

At 3840x2160, no preset manages to reach 60 FPS. The Low preset comes closest with a 50 FPS average, but even that falls short. The verdict data confirms that 4K has no playable settings for this hardware combination, meaning there is no preset at this resolution that stays at or above 60 FPS. The best the system can deliver at 4K is the Low preset at 50 FPS average, which remains below the playable threshold.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data covers three resolutions and four settings presets, though not every combination includes minimum and maximum values. The most complete data points come from the Medium preset at each resolution, which includes the full FPS range.

At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers the highest average at 145 FPS. Medium follows at 111 FPS, with a documented range of 95 to 128 FPS. High averages 93 FPS, and Ultra averages 71 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra at 1080p is 74 FPS, indicating that the preset choice dramatically affects performance at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 94 FPS. Medium drops to 72 FPS, with a range of 61 to 82 FPS. High sits at exactly 60 FPS average. Ultra falls to 46 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 48 FPS, narrower than at 1080p but still substantial.

At 3840x2160, performance drops significantly across all presets. Low averages 50 FPS. Medium averages 39 FPS, with a range of 33 to 44 FPS. High averages 32 FPS. Ultra averages 25 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 25 FPS, showing that even the least demanding preset cannot reach playable levels.

The scaling pattern across resolutions is consistent. At every preset, moving from 1080p to 1440p reduces the average FPS, and moving from 1440p to 4K reduces it further. For example, the Medium preset goes from 111 FPS at 1080p to 72 FPS at 1440p to 39 FPS at 4K. The High preset goes from 93 to 60 to 32 FPS across the same resolution steps.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU benchmarks place the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G at the 71st percentile among all tested CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17507. The nearest rivals in the database show very small performance deltas. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE scores 17482, which is 0.1% higher. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE scores 17614, which is 0.6% higher. The Intel Core 7 150U scores 17395, which is 0.6% lower. The Intel Core i3-14100T scores 17648, which is 0.8% higher. These deltas are all within 1% of the 4600G, meaning any of these CPUs would produce nearly identical CPU-bound behavior in Minimum.

On the GPU side, the Intel Arc B570 sits at the 65th percentile among all tested GPUs with an average benchmark score of 20556. Its nearest rivals are similarly close. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile scores 20534, just 0.1% lower. The Intel Arc A750 scores 20582, 0.1% higher. The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M scores 20480, 0.4% lower. The AMD Radeon R9 M390X scores 20662, 0.5% higher. Any of these GPUs paired with a comparable CPU would likely produce FPS figures very close to those recorded for the Arc B570 in this game.

For users considering alternatives, the data suggests that swapping the CPU for any of the four nearest rivals would shift performance by less than 1%, and swapping the GPU for any of its nearest rivals would similarly shift performance by less than 1%. The combination of the 4600G and B570 represents a performance point that these nearby components would replicate almost exactly.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data shows how the balance between CPU and GPU demands shifts across resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the system delivers 145 FPS on Low and 71 FPS on Ultra. The 74 FPS gap between these presets indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor when settings are raised, as the additional graphical workload at Ultra requires more GPU throughput.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset produces 94 FPS and Ultra produces 46 FPS, a gap of 48 FPS. The reduction in the gap compared to 1080p suggests that the GPU is becoming more saturated at higher resolutions, compressing the difference between presets because the GPU is increasingly the bottleneck even at Low settings.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset drops to 50 FPS and Ultra drops to 25 FPS, a gap of 25 FPS. This narrowing trend continues, reinforcing the interpretation that the GPU is heavily constrained at 4K regardless of preset. The CPU has less influence at this resolution because the GPU cannot keep up even with the lightest settings.

The scaling between resolutions also reveals the GPU's role. The Low preset goes from 145 FPS at 1080p to 94 FPS at 1440p to 50 FPS at 4K. That is a 35% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 47% drop from 1440p to 4K. The Ultra preset goes from 71 FPS at 1080p to 46 FPS at 1440p to 25 FPS at 4K, representing a 35% drop and a 46% drop respectively. The consistency of these percentage drops across presets points to resolution scaling being primarily a GPU workload characteristic.

The CPU's benchmark data shows a single-thread score of 726 in 3DMark and a max-threads score of 4889, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 13593. These figures indicate a capable processor for this game, but the FPS data shows that resolution and preset changes have a much larger impact on performance than CPU headroom would suggest. The game's third-person shooter nature likely benefits from the CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads, but the recorded frame rates at 4K demonstrate that the GPU becomes the dominant constraint well before the CPU would become a limiting factor.

The Verdict

The question is whether this PC can run Minimum, and the answer depends entirely on resolution and preset. At 1920x1080, the system clears the 60 FPS threshold at every preset. The Ultra preset averages 71 FPS, High averages 93 FPS, Medium averages 111 FPS, and Low averages 145 FPS. This resolution is fully playable with headroom across the board.

At 2560x1440, the system remains playable at three of four presets. High, Low, and Medium all reach or exceed 60 FPS, with High at exactly 60 FPS, Low at 94 FPS, and Medium at 72 FPS. The Ultra preset at 46 FPS is the only non-playable option at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the system cannot run the game at playable frame rates under any preset. The verdict data lists no playable settings at this resolution. The best case is Low at 50 FPS, which is 10 FPS below the threshold. The verdict by resolution confirms this: 4K is not viable, 1440p works up to High, and 1080p works at all settings including Ultra.

The overall ranking of this combination in the database is 2984 out of 3712 tested combos, placing it in the lower portion of tested systems. However, for this specific game, the hardware is more than adequate at standard resolutions, with 1080p Ultra and 1440p High both delivering playable performance.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this AMD Ryzen 5 4600G plus Intel Arc B570 combination at 2984 out of 3712 tested combos for Minimum. That places it in the 20th percentile of tested systems, meaning roughly 80% of tested combinations rank higher in overall performance for this game.

This ranking reflects the hardware's position relative to all other tested combos, but it does not tell the whole story. The FPS measurements show that the combo delivers strong results at 1080p and acceptable results at 1440p, even though its overall rank is in the lower fifth of the database. The rank likely reflects the GPU's mid-tier standing, as the Arc B570 sits at the 65th percentile among GPUs, and the CPU's 71st percentile among CPUs. Neither component is near the top of the database, and the combination inherits that middle-to-lower position.

The ranking also makes sense given the game's age and genre. Minimum released in 2014, and the measured performance shows that modern mid-range hardware can handle it well at standard resolutions. The 4K results are the clear weak point, and those results likely drag the overall rank down even though 1080p performance is strong.

The recorded data indicates that this combo is best suited for 1080p gaming with maximum settings, with 1440p viable at reduced settings. The overall rank of 2984 out of 3712 should not discourage users targeting 1080p, as the measured FPS at that resolution exceeds the playable threshold by a wide margin at every preset.
